2-Methyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid is unlikely to produce 2-Methyl-3-butanone upon strong heating.

Upon heating, the β ketoacid becomes unstable and decarboxylates, leading to the formation of the methyl ketone.

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group.

Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

A pycnometer is a precisely weighted vessel that is used for highly accurate density determinations. Suppose that a pycnometer h

dexar [7]

Answer:

5.758 is the density of the metal ingot in grams per cubic centimeter.

Explanation:

1) Mass of pycnometer = M = 27.60 g

Mass of pycnometer with water ,m= 45.65 g

Density of water at 20 °C = d = $998.2 kg/m^3$

1 kg = 1000 g

$1 m^3=10^6 cm^3$

$998.2 kg/m^3=\frac{998.2 \times 1000 g}{10^6 cm^3}=0.9982 g/cm^3$

Mass of water ,m'= m - M = 45.65 g - 27.60 g =18.05 g

Volume of pycnometer = Volume of water present in it = V

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$V=\frac{m'}{d}=\frac{18.05 g}{0.9982 g/cm^3}=18.08 cm^3$

2) Mass of metal , water and pycnometer = 56.83 g

Mass of metal,M' = 9.5 g

Mass of water when metal and water are together ,m''= 56.83 g - M'- M

56.83 g - 9.5 g - 27.60 g = 19.7 g

Volume of water when metal and water are together = v

$v=\frac{m''}{d}=\frac{19.7 g}{0.9982 g/cm^3}=19.73 cm^3$

Density of metal = d'

Volume of metal = v' = $\frac{M'}{d'}$

Difference in volume will give volume of metal ingot.

v' = v - V

$v'=19.73 cm^3-18.08 cm^3=$

$v'=1.65 cm^3$

Since volume cannot be in negative .

Density of the metal =d'

= $d'=\frac{M'}{v'}=\frac{9.5 g}{1.65 cm^3}=5.758 g/cm^3$

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

643g of methane will there be in the room

Explanation:

To solve this question we must, as first, find the volume of methane after 1h = 3600s. With the volume we can find the moles of methane using PV = nRT -<em>Assuming STP-</em>. With the moles and the molar mass of methane (16g/mol) we can find the mass of methane gas after 1 hour as follows:

<em>Volume Methane:</em>

3600s * (0.25L / s) = 900L Methane

<em>Moles methane:</em>

PV = nRT; PV / RT = n

<em>Where P = 1atm at STP, V is volume = 900L; R is gas constant = 0.082atmL/molK; T is absolute temperature = 273.15K at sTP</em>

Replacing:

PV / RT = n

1atm*900L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15 = n

n = 40.18mol methane

<em>Mass methane:</em>

40.18 moles * (16g/mol) =
